Installing a COM Addin without the wizard

[Stephen Corey]

I'm trying to manually install a C# Com Addin. Here's what I've done:

1. I've ran the command "regasm /regfile:regit.reg wsaddins.dll" and have
added the the Addin key
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\<Com addin
key>) key to the regfile that regasm creates.

2. Copied the .dll to the windows\system32 directory on the target PC
(WinXP).

3. Ran the regfile generated by regasm on the target PC.

4. Ran "regasm c:\windows\system32\wsaddins.dll" on the target PC

4. Tested Outlook 2002 on the target PC (and the addin doesn't even load)

Am I missing something else??

Have you given the .dll full trust under .NET security on the client
machine?

How do I do that? Can it be done from the command line? (for use in a batch
file)
